DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse

If you’re into shoes or bags, DSW’s store rewards may make up for the moderate pricing.
DSW is one of those shoe stores that has too much open space and not enough shoes. You’ll wear yourself out walking here and there in the store. Maybe they do it like that so you wear your shoes out faster and way to buy a new pair.
I don’t care a lick for designer names and I don’t pay high prices for shoes or handbags as a rule. I’m the type to wait for things to go on super duper clearance and even then I’m very selective about what I purchase. Occasionally I will have luck at DSW with their different colored stickers marking a different % off the original or clearance price. While I’m not a fan of having to do that much math at the store, it’s occasionally worth it, especially when I have a credit for $ 20 off my next purchase as part of the store rewards program. I paid only $ 5 plus tax for a pair of strappy black heels last week.
I would love to see them expand their bag selection. Right now, it’s comparable to the ratio of bags to shoes at Payless. I’d love to see ¼ of the store full of bags.
The only location I’ve visited is Mid-​Rivers, so I can’t say how it compares with other locations.

Good selection and decent prices.
I always attack the discount rack. I found a pair of $ 90 Saucany workout shoes for $ 15. They were ridiculously overpriced initially, but after the discount I was more than smiling.
I have never walked in and not purchased at least one pair. Something for ALMOST everyone.

Once upon a time I really liked these stores. I felt like they had a good selection of shoes for a decent price. Those days have came and gone. Now all of their Men’s shoes are horribly outdated, yet their prices don’t reflect that. They had Sperry’s from 2 years ago that were only 5 dollars off retail price? Are you kidding? They don’t have any unique styles of dress shoes, no monk straps, no modern looking wing tips, etc. They also don’t have any unique colors of shoes. No blues, greens, cordovan, cognac, etc. For guys I’d stick with Macy’s, Nordstroms, or Aldo. The girls selection seems to be better, but prices still seem to be entirely too high for a warehouse store.

Good reasonable selection of shoes with quality service. I enjoyed my visit here. Not as wide of selection as Brentwood location, so if you’re looking for Sperry’s go to other location instead.

This store is just like any other DSW stores I have been to… and I have the same luck as with all the other DSW’s I have been to. They have tons of shoes, but I can never find anything worth buying. I must admit, it’s still fun to browse. There are no deals to be found in the clearance section in the back of the store. I swear they mark up prices just so they can mark them down and call it a clearance.
In a way, it’s good for the wallet because I always come out with what I brought in.
